Lol scholars can be in denial, ultiametly scholarship isnt the final say, thatcan take things out of the hands of the Spirit of God. Scholarship is helpful at times and at times not, what matters is what scripture reveals and the Spirit is the primary teacher and not scholarship. 1 Cor 2:No, I am not in denial. I simply am not reading into the passage.
There is a reason biblical scholars e ist on both sides of this issue- Scripture itself neither affirms or denies individual election.
For myself, I am not dogmatic about it either way. That, as you noted, is not the actual point of that chapter.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom[scholarship] teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
To be honest, trusting scholarship is trusting the arm of the flesh !
